[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not an essential life skill. I have not read a book for pleasure since elementary school. Maybe middle school. I have college degrees and a career.[/quote] Yeah, but kids aren’t reading books for school (or hardly) anymore either. So if they aren’t reading at home, and school isn’t making it part of curriculum- then they just aren’t reading period [/quote] Schools everywhere are reading books, maybe just not area area. But even so they only get through three or four novels a grade at the most. [/quote] Not true -- today that is much less common than in the past. Many schools across the US no longer read any whole books. Instead they only read short extracts. There is an entire thread on this change in one of the Education fora here on DCUM. [/quote]
